wait, that's a factory color? What is it called? avilable on any other models?

I'm asking not because i want 1 in that color, but I was having a debate with my frien, he said Mercedes has a shade of pink from factory, and i said no way....

I guess I lost...

Smile Its a custom color done by AMG

The color was selected by the client to be sprayed on their new SL55. I believe it was some sort of Cadillac pink, if i'm not mistaken. Probably from the 60s or so. Anyway AMG got the color codes and custom mixed and sprayed the car. Even the interior was specially matched as shown below:
